• In machine learning, Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) is well known as supervised vector quantization. LVQ has been studied to generate optimal reference vectors because of its simple and fast learning algorithm [2]. In many tasks of classification, different variants are considered while training a model and a consideration of variants of large margin in LVQ helps to get significant results [20]. Large margin LVQ (LMLVQ) is to maximize the distance between decision hyperplane and data points. In this thesis, a comparison of different variants of Generalized Learning Vector Quantization (GLVQ) and Large margin in LVQ is proposed along with visualization, implementation and experimental results.
